He's not tho. There's a kid actor playing young Eun Seum and from what I remember (someone correct me if I'm wrong)…
I understand what you're saying but I still don't agree. If the actor doesn't look too old and can give amazing performance I don't mind him being older. Without knowing SJK's age and just by watching this I wouldn't have guessed he was 30+, especially in the role of Saya.
But anyways, I see your point. I wrote my original comment because you mentioned him playing a "pre-teen" role, not just to be contrary. We can just agree to disagree xD
M about to start can anyone pls tell if the love triangle is d annoying one
Not sure what you mean by annoying but there definitely is one. I personally didn't find it annoying. SML is in love with FL but she only has eyes for ML who in turn is trying to push her away. Misunderstandings between the mail leads are more annoying IMO. SML is quite likable and full of understanding, but I think most people wanted FL to be with ML anyway.
People are going to hate me..but I don't understand why they have adults play as kids-SJK is 35! Why is he doing…
He's not tho. There's a kid actor playing young Eun Seum and from what I remember (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Song Joong Ki's characters are 20 years old. He's much older in real life, true, but it's far from playing pre-teens. I see nothing wrong with that if he can pull it off.
Not really. By the end they become aware of their feelings for each other but there is no romantic relationship…
Not sure if we'll get season 2 tbh, but yeah, if you want to watch for romance maybe it's better to skip. This one is more about friendship and teamwork; there is some romance but it's not the main focus.
Lots of viewers say that this series is among the best there is. I'm already in episode 3 and I find the plot…
It begins with Wei Wuxian's death 16 years ago. Wei Wuxian was a part (head disciple) of the Yunmeng Jiang sect and Jiang Cheng's brother. Jiang Cheng is the guy who "killed" him 16 years ago on the cliff. Lan Wangji/Lan Zhan/Hanguang Jun is the guy in white, he's Wei Wuxian's friend and he tried to save him 16 years ago. He's from the Gusu Lan sect. In the first episode we see that Wei Wuxian is resurrected by Mo Xuanyu who sacrifices his own soul so he could give his body to Wei Wuxian in order for Wei Wuxian to kill his family/enemies who bullied him and made his life miserable (therefore Mo family dies but still one person who needs to be killed remains. Wei Wuxian doesn't know who that person is, yet). Mo Xuanyu is the bastard son of Jin Guangshan, leader of Lanling Jin sect (and Jin Zixuan who appears in episode 3 and is mentioned to be Jiang Yanli's fiancee is Jin Guangshan proper son and heir).
Anyway, first 2 episode are in the current time. Episode 3 is the beginning of the story and is set 16 years in the past. The flashback will go on until episode 33 I think so instead of seeing it as a simple flashback you should just take it as an integral part of the story. It will show how all these characters came to know each other and what happened to Wei Wuxian for him to become the hated figure from the beginning of episode 1.
The only bad guys for now are Qishan Wen sect who wear red (but not all of them are bad). Other characters are visiting Gusu Lan's Cloud Recesses for lectures.
I hope that helped you a little bit. If you continue watching everything will fall into its place, and yes, it does get better in the future. The ending is also good and satisfying!
BTW, if you have any other specific questions feel free to ask ^_^
I dropped this after few episodes back in 2017 but I'm thinking about starting it again, just for Lee Soo Hyuk. He was the only thing I liked about the drama and after watching him in Born Again I need more.
What's up with the low rating? I'm on episode 24 and so far it isn't a bad show at all. I hope the ending won't…
Bittersweet.
All in all I think it was a good drama. There were some very unrealistic details and plot-holes but they didn't affect my overall impression. All characters were likable and most of the time I couldn't decide whom to root for, ML or SML. I also think FL was likable and her dilemma was justified. I like the reincarnation concept and the execution was good (didn't find it draggy at all).
No matter how it ended I would've found it bittersweet, and this ending was satisfying in a way. I'm gonna raise my rating because of its overall low score so 9/10.
The one I anticipate the most is The Oath of Love, but I'll probably check out Who Rules The World and One and Only as well. When it comes to c-dramas I mostly watch costume dramas.
Why is the rating so low on douban? I don't get what the Chinese fans want. Anyway, so far I really enjoy this…
How is it rated there? I personally don't trust douban ratings because it's full of haters and antis & a lot of dramas I like are rated low. I find MDL ratings much more trustworthy, even though they are unrealistically high most of the time.
I really hope this doesn't have a sad ending, I'm too invested at this point. Qi Yan and Cheng Ruoyu have such a beautiful and tragic relationship. I rarely cry when watching dramas but their scenes in ep. 31 made me all teary. That's an achievement.
Hopeful for a costume drama again :D. Mainly because I love him in costume dramas.
I support your costume drama agenda! 😂
I have nothing against modern dramas and would like to see him in more of those roles but costume/historical dramas are still my favorite. I would like to see him in a historical, non xianxia/wuxia drama tho.

I don't rate anything that low, even the shows that I force myself to finish becase they're borderline unwatchable, lol.
Yeah, I guess the combination of the two would be the most accurate, haha.
